When it comes to converting your favorite baking recipes to gluten free, a simple one to one flour substitution will not yield the same results based on a wheat flour recipe.

Gluten is a living, stretchy ingredient that supports rise, structure, texture and kneadabilty. It takes more than a single gluten fee four replacement to create cake, bread, muffin, or cookie recipe that work. A combination of gluten free flours and starches with some extra egg whites or leavening and xanthan gum added to improve viscosity is necessary for optimum results.

I hope this helps explains things a bit more easily. Living gluten free is not only obtainable, but actually easy once you have the working knowledge. Remember my favorite saying, "KNOWLEDGE = POWER" well here ya go.........ta ta beauties
